Tour Edge Golf recently launched the Exotics EX9 and EX9 Tour driv-ers.

The new Tour Preferred ball (4-layer construction, 80 compres-sion), features TaylorMade’s next-generation SpeedMantle™ inner layer, comprised of a material that is more than 65% softer and more flexible than the previous genera-tion’s mantle. This creates a softer feeling ball, with higher launch and more spin for long irons while maintaining the same distance off the tee and greenside spin as the Tour Preferred X but with a softer feel.

From the PresidentIt’s that time of year -- golf in the northeast comes to a close (though they are having record high tem-peratures), Halloween and Thanksgiving seem to get skipped over by the major retailers to get ready for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, the Christmas rush and any other major sales event and the most famous show of all -- the PGA Show -- will soon be here. ING will be there in full force.

The ING Lounge will be the place to be. Whether you need a place tonetwork, have meetings, and even just to take a break from the show floor hustle and bustle, spending time in Room 309A (the ING Lounge) should be high on your “must visit” list. And you will not want to miss Guest Speaker Johnny Miller, the ING Media Awards, and the ING Industry Honors.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year and I look forward to seeing you at the PGA Show.
